Dora and Boots have to warn everybody in the rainforest about a big storm cloud coming their way. Not only that, but they also have to race home fast to outrun the storm cloud. Will they make it home okay?
Tropes:
- Art Evolution: The animation has changed vastly beginning with this episode; specifically the backgrounds are brighter and the character designs are different so they're less Animesque. Dora's face in particular is remodeled to match her promotional artwork.
- Catchphrase: The Big Storm Cloud has "Rain, rain, rain!"
- Delayed Reaction: Dora and Boots' first reaction to the Big Storm Cloud.Boots: Hey Dora, what kind of cloud is that?
Dora: That's a storm cloud, Boots. A big storm cloud.
[Beat]
Both: A big storm cloud?! - I Know Your True Name: Singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away" gets rid of the Big Storm Cloud; having everyone in the whole forest sing it sends him away for good.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Dora and Boots when they first realize the Big Storm Cloud.

- That Cloud Looks Like...: The episode starts with Dora and Boots looking at the clouds and finding some in different shapes; they find one that looks like a teddy bear, then they encounter the Big Storm Cloud, setting off the plot.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Swiper swipes the roof for Benny.
